流冰街道網走 / Ryuhyo Kaido Abashiri

Ryuhyo Kaido Abashiri (Abashiri City) is a road station located at the point where the Abashiri River meets the sea, and where visitors can admire a panoramic view of both the Sea of Okhotsk and Shiretoko Peninsula. In winter, this place acts as a terminal to board the Aurora - the sightseeing boat to see the sea ice floe (Ryuhyo in Japanese). At the shop there, they sell local specialties of Abashiri, such as Abashiri pudding. They also sell souvenirs themed on the ice floe. In 2010, the harbor area including this road station was registered as a good destination called Harbor Oasis by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
